This is going to make me look more prolific than I am, but here's a collection of short stories that I published for the holiday season:

Thanks, Al.

You're such a creative guy and I certainly appreciate your keeping the Kindle prices low.

Parallel Taxation

The admins just told me where I could post this on our forum.

Hello to all my friends at Early Retirement. As I retired in the United States I came to realize that the delayed / deferred taxation of our Social Security and Long Term Gains created Marginal Tax Rates as high as 40.7% and 49.95%. When I talked to my friends about these rate very few even knew they existed and many didn’t believe they existed even after I told them about them.

So, I made it my goal to make sure that others were aware of these marginal tax rate and knew of a few steps they could take to avoid them.

Here is the website that I have created to try to spread the word to others and to help them avoid these problems during retirement:

Parallel Taxation: The Tax Hump

Yeah, that's me!

It's a nice feeling when you run into someone who's read your books and admires your writing. That's never happened to me, but I imagine it's a nice feeling.

I was asking, "Are you kidding?" But now I know you're not. I get star struck.

I was a bartender in college. Univ. of Illinois at a place called Jumer's. It was high class hotel, restaurant. There was a lounge within the hotel called the "Black Bear" where I was bartending. Maya Angelou came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a Courvoisier. We served those in snifters. She told me about herself in a slightly guarded way. She was giving a talk at the university and was a guest at Jumer's. I acted like "no big deal." Told her I read her work, especially "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."
I was speechless for days.

Also had an extended e-mail exchange with Anne Rice. It was her, not her assistant. We got into a discussion about the Catholic Church and how vampires became the subject of her novels. Honestly, I e-mailed her after reading about her experience with the Catholic Church. She shared some things that were troubling about her daughter who passed away. I printed the e-mails and re read them over and over.

I’m definitely not as accomplished as Al, but here’s my second kid’s picture book, my books feature my dachshund Roxie who faces situations kids actually face.

They come with a parent/child conversation guide to help parents tee up a non threatening conversation with a child about the topic. I’m a clinician, and the books were endorsed by a child/adolescent psychiatrist.

Here is Roxie with book 2, when we did our release in St. Augustine.
